CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS
Special Issue on
KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AND KNOWLEDGE DISTRIBUTION OVER THE INTERNET
Knowledge Management is one of the key progress factors in
organizations. It involves explicit and persistent representation of
knowledge of (geographically) dispersed groups of people in the
organization, so as to improve the activities of the organization.
In an organization, know-how may relate to problem solving expertise
in functional disciplines, experiences of human resources, and project
experiences in terms of project management issues, design technical
issues and lessons learned. The coherent integration of this dispersed
know-how in a corporation, aimed at enhancing its access and reuse, is called
"corporate memory" or "organizational memory".
Activities underlying knowledge management in an organization can
comprise detection of needs, construction, distribution, use and
maintenance of the corporate memory. It demands abilities to manage
disparate know-how and heterogeneous viewpoints, to make it accessible
and suitable for adequate members of the organization. When the
organization knowledge is distributed on several experts and documents
in different locations all over the world, the Internet or an Intranet
inside the organization and World Wide Web (WWW) techniques can be a
privileged means for acquisition, modelling, management of this
distributed knowledge. Papers are welcome in any area concerning
knowledge management, corporate memory and knowledge distribution via
Internet / Intranet. Examples of interesting topics are:
- Enterprise modeling
- Dimensions of knowledge management: organization, competence,
methodology...
- Artificial Intelligence methods or techniques for construction
of computational corporate memories (knowledge bases, case bases,
intelligent documentary systems, agent-based systems...)
- Integration of knowledge from different groups in an organization
- Knowledge sharing between different groups in an organization
(possibly via Internet/Intranet)
- Cooperative (possibly WWW-based) building, adaptation and evolution
of a corporate memory
- WWW-based repositories for sharable ontologies and reusable
problem-solving methods
- WWW-based terminology servers
- Assessment of concrete applications for knowledge management
